Industry mapping for semiconductors + Chart library for ASML

The buzz surrounding General Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has been palpable of late, and while Nvidia continues to be a crowd favorite, there are numerous other players in the semiconductor industry that are equally vital in this AI-centric transformation. ASML, a Dutch company and one of the world's leading manufacturers of chip-making equipment, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest dedicated independent (pure-play) semiconductor foundry, are both involved in the production of AI chips.

Similarly, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), an American multinational semiconductor company, has been making strides in the AI and machine learning fields. Beyond these names, other major players such as Intel, with its MobilEye and Habana Labs divisions focusing on AI, and Qualcomm, well-known for its AI-optimized Snapdragon mobile processors, are also noteworthy.

South Korean giants Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix are also deep in the game, not only through their production of memory chips vital to AI operations but also by investing in developing their own AI technologies. Xilinx, with its adaptable intelligent computing capabilities used in AI inference and deep learning, is another notable name. Meanwhile, Broadcom, with its diverse portfolio of semiconductor and infrastructure software products, has significant exposure to the AI market.
